10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. - Kreger Hall 319
G1 Plenary Talk: Tom Foster, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville; "Explicit Content and Spoilers: What we know about problem solving problems" 

Abstract: Take a moment and recognize that you are among a very elite population of people: You are an expert at solving physics problems.  In that same moment ask yourself have you ever grappled with a problem that made you rethink how you thought about physics? If so, you have an innate talent for physics.  However, the students in introductory physics classes are not experts in physics, or physics problem-solving, or the connection between them.  There exists a huge gap between your problem-solving skills and those of your students.  Fortunately physics education researchers, cognitive scientists, science educators, and a host of other scientists have been studying student learning and we know how people learn.  We will take a few moments to discuss what is known about teaching students to become more competent problem-solvers.

11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. - Kreger Hall 319
H1 Plenary Talk: Benjamin Schumacher, Inventor of the Qubit!, Kenyon College; "Quantum flows of probability and heat" 

Abstract: Textbook quantum mechanics uses a "probability current" to establish the "conservation of probability" for an evolving spatial wave function.  This idea can be adapted to simple quantum systems with finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, including open systems that exchange energy and information with their surroundings.  Through a series of undergraduate projects at Kenyon over the last few years, we have used probability currents to study heat and work flows in quantum thermodynamic systems, including the tiniest possible heat engines.
